Some of the more egregious examples include the faces of Quantic Dream employees photoshopped onto pornographic images or photos of Nazis. French publication Canard PC ( warning: link contains explicit images) included a select few of the images in its coverage of the incident. In 2018 it was revealed that a senior employee at Quantic Dream had created over 600 images depicted their coworkers in all manner of inappropriate scenarios. Star Wars certainly has a long way to go in regards to queer representation, especially considering the token lesbian kiss in Rise of Skywalker (which was cut from the film for some international releases) but handing the keys to the High Republic to David Cage and Quantic Dream is a massive step in the wrong direction. There's no denying that Rey, protagonist of the latter trilogy in the Skywalker Saga, has been overwhelmingly beneficial to women not only in the film industry, but in the audience as well. The Star Wars universe is incredibly important to people from all walks of life, and Quantic Dream's involvement with Eclipse threatens to backtrack on recent strides the franchise has made in representation. The influential original film has since grown into a multimedia powerhouse spanning movies, television series, novels, comics, video games, toys, and more. Star Wars has had an absolutely monolithic presence within pop culture since its inception in 1977. Star Wars Eclipse is currently in development.Related: How The Last Of Us Elevates Women In Gaming What comes of these accusations, as well as the development trouble of the game itself, remains to be seen. His alleged behavior is a primary factor in the above allegation troubles and rumors, but it’s also the reason fans began the Blackout Star Wars Eclipse campaign, with many vowing to not support the game as long as David Cage is involved. Specifically, these allegations involve studio head David Cage who has allegedly made inappropriate jokes about female actors in Quantic Dream games, as well as a lot more.
Combined with this is the fact that Quantic Dream is having staffing issues due to allegations as well. After Detroit: Become Human, the studio was reportedly looking to sell itself as a way to get more resources and expand the studio’s size and scope, but Quantic Dream's workplace harassment, racism, sexism, and homophobia accusations reportedly drove away all the buyers. Part of this seems to be a struggle for resources. After all, the studio is also reportedly struggling with the multiplayer aspect of Star Wars Eclipse and, after 18 months in production/development, there is still no playable internal version of the game. Quantic Dream’s engine is supposedly struggling with Star Wars Eclipse as it was only designed for confined levels and limited NPCs, thus suggesting the initial scope for the game may be beyond Quantic Dream’s current resource capabilities. These MMORPG assets would eventually be repurposed and pitched as a new Star Wars game. Apparently, Star Wars Eclipse originally started off as an MMORPG codenamed Project Karma but was rejected by Sony for Detroit: Become Human. All of this information should be treated as rumor. This information comes way of Tom Henderson’s sources, including those familiar with past and future Quantic Dream plans and more.

This isn’t all too uncommon, especially for games early in their development cycles however, it may not be the best news for Star Wars Eclipse. All fans have seen of either, but more specifically the latter, is a cinematic trailer. Several Star Wars video game projects have been either announced or rumored since then, with the KOTOR Remake and Quantic Dream’s Star Wars Eclipse both falling into the former category. The return of Lucasfilm Games was one of the biggest video game surprises of 2021, and so was how fast it worked.
